How can any european government still trust #Microsoft with anything?
Just with a simple request from the House, Microsoft shared internal documents doxing dutch regulators.

Talked to a software engineer at Microsoft working on Copilot Studio today at a social event and he said he was ashamed that he hadn’t written a single line of code in over three months. “I used to take pride in my work.” (They simply create plans in natural language and feed it to the LLM which generates the code. They can’t even do human code reviews anymore as there’s too much code being generated.)

He said a lot of them were waiting for a catastrophic event (something that would take down critical infrastructure) to get top management to reverse course. He seemed to think such a failure was very likely.

Given what we’ve been seeing recently, I tend to agree with him. Although I feel they will just double down. There’s too much money in the pot for them to fold.

“State Secretary Willemijn Aerdts for Digital Economy and Sovereignty has addressed the US ambassador regarding the public disclosure of names of Dutch civil servants. Vrij Nederland reported on Friday about the names of civil servants that have been made public. Microsoft had shared that data with the House of Representatives.”

Yes, please, keep sharing the data of European citizens with Microsoft, Google, Palantir, etc. What’s the worst that could happen?

Remember this whenever you hear claims that your data is secure on some system or other that you do not own and control.

Like all that additional data governments want to gather via the slippery slope of “age verification” in the EU.

The only data that is actually secure on a third party is data you haven’t shared with the third party.

Hence: data minimisation.

Had I mentioned GDMR yet today? Because I feel I might have. But hey, here it is again:

Xbox is now XBOX

Xbox just allcapsmaxxed: meet XBOX. This isn't a joke, Microsoft appears to be actually rebranding Xbox to XBOX. Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or…

Microslop sneaked in a change that makes all git commits made with VS Code get marked with Copilot as a commit co-author by default. They backed down after immense backlash.

It seems like they're doing anything they can to make it seem like people like and use their slop-generators.

I've been saying for two decades ... fuck #Microsoft !!


Para empezar a explicar el problema hay que delimitar dónde está ese problema. No hablamos de toda la tecnología ni de cómo sintetizar proteínas con sistemas de IA (a secas). Hablamos de la IA generativa actual cuyos modelos comerciales fueron lanzados al mercado desde 2021-2022 en adelante.
